Utopia
The colonial bistro & Lounge is a place where we serve international cuisine and a very friendly environment. Our upcoming Hostel is a nice addition and we would love to learn your abilities of cooking and willing to exchange our expertise and local cuisine. It’s a very spacious place and the whole hostel area is only for the in-house guests so volunteers can have their own private time uninterrupted.
Am a friendly and a outgoing person with a passion for hospitality industry. I really enjoy my work and i want people with a friendly attitude who's willing to helpout our guests. We work in a very friendly way so people will get a homely experience.

About the experience in: Habaraduwa, Sri Lanka

It’s really chill work at a beautiful location, the colleges are really nice. Food is good as well, the house where I lived was a bit far from the work place, which I knew before, it was anyways a bit of a ride each time :)
Yohan is nice but sometimes we had some communication problems. I did the volunteering with another woman which I really enjoyed cause it’s quite dominated by man.

Yohan was a kind, generous and extremely sweet host. He introduced us to his friends, and told us a lot about the country and culture! He was sociable, and respectful, and fun.
It should be noted, however, that during the quiet season, there is next to no work to complete at the restaurant. I was told that it was going to be quiet, but never expected the restaurant to not have a single customer visit - which is no fault of Yohan’s of course, but I simply felt that perhaps the volunteering opportunity should only become available during the busy season. It has wonderful potential!

I was here during the Off Season so there was not really much to do, maybe it would have been better with a second volunteer to not feel so lonely. But I could use the time to do some surfing trips and Yohan really is a nice host. You need to try his pumpkin curry!

Utopia it’s a nice restaurant near the beach whit an amazing view, I was in low seasson so I didn’t have to much think to do there, also if you like ocean sports in low seasson you can not do it there, but at least we have some good time, you have to work 5 hours per day is not to bussy. If you want time to rest and be chill is a good momento to be there. Yohan is nice and you always get good local food!

I had a great time at utopia, my job consisted of waiting on guests, prepping food and cleaning. the owner Yohan is very kind and made the experience fun. The meals provided are always delicious.The restaurant is located on a beautiful beach with great sunsets! However when i was there it was off season so it wasn’t very busy
